Yeah, so am I. Is this is all you can manage these days, a drive-by bash of one thread? How about reading something in the Barnraisers forum, like where several people have been helping the Mountain Peace Shelter get their new Boutique and admin offices ready to open?The Viking wrote: Just popped back on to see what is being talked about on this site. Wow! Really noticing a pattern here.......
Take care......

When I bought 285Bound, I thought I was just buying a site that I was already heavily involved with and wouldn't be doing anything different than I already had been doing. Wrong. There is so much more that can be done, and who better than us, the people who are most affected who live in this community? Even on my worst days dealing with stuff I don't want to here, my daughter stubbornly refusing to conform to anyone's schedule but her own, feeling like I'm so far behind on my to-do list that I'll never see my husband again from around my computer screen, my pets treating the carpet as their own personal bathroom, etc, I can't help but be in a good spirit because of how I'm helping to make a positive difference in this community. And you can feel that way too, I promise you. You don't have to give money, just your time and effort, in a myriad of ways. Rather than complaining about "how negative this site is", or how we can't keep from "partisan bashing one another", get out and help your neighbors - it puts the other stuff in a better, more realistic perspective.

Amazon had originally set the price for new releases at $9.99, then as kindle got popular, and new options like the nook and apple ipad came on the market the publishers threatened to pull there titles from amazon unless they charged more for their new books like apple promised to. A couple publishers actually did till amazon gave in. So direct your anger at the publishers and apple, not amazon.
I did see in the last couple days that the justice dept is going after apple and several book publishers over that whole issue.
